European Travel Mix

When you travel, you occasionally have nothing but time to waste on really mundane things. One such episode leant itself to me making a mix tape, fitting one 45 minute side of a cassette tape, with songs that included elements of Europe. The song list is as follows:

Beirut - Postcards From Italy
The Tallest Man On Earth - King Of Spain
Beach House - Norway
Cats On Fire - Letters from a Voyage to Sweden
Brakes - Leaving England
East River Pipe - Superstar In France
Strand of Oaks - New Paris
I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper - Amsterdamned
Luna - 23 Minutes in Brussels

Email me if you would like a copy, it actually plays quite well.

What A Long Strange Trip it's Been, Here is Some Surfer Blood

Well, as some of you may or may not know, my wife and I are on an extended honeymoon in Europe and it has definitely cut into our available Wi-Fi time and, hence, contributed to a lack of posts here. I can't express to everyone enough how much I miss finding, and receiving, new music and we feel we have let what little readership we have down by not providing new material here. However, we have a hotel with free Wi-Fi for a couple of days, a luxury in these parts, and I will be writing to you from the most wonderful city of Saumur, France.

I have actually got to check out some various bands here and Surfer Blood is really standing out to me. I have spoken of these chaps before but there album is definitely worth mentioning twice. I also can't help to think how amazing the live show would be. The music is just full of energy and life and, quite simply, complete joy.

... I also hate how old I feel looking at that photo!
